Nikurashii Kare Novel English Translation -
Sample (imagined passage capturing likely tone): "I catch myself memorizing the angle of his jaw like it's a map I shouldn't know. Every time he strides into the room—shoulders too relaxed, that lazy grin—my chest tightens in a way I'm not proud of. He leaves coffee rings on the table and apologies half-finished, and still I find excuses to cross paths with him. Hate is too grand a word; better: he's delightfully unbearable. Exactly the kind of person who makes me roll my eyes and stay."
I saw that you mentioned the spice tastes like Italian Sausage because of the fennel, yet there is no fennel in this recipe?
I’m sorry about that, Lori, that was written in an unclear way and I’ll edit that.
I was referring to the Italian Sausage Seasoning Blend, which uses the above Italian seasoning blend as an ingredient, but also has additional ingredients like fennel to get the taste that you are used to in Italian sausage. You can find the Italian Sausage Seasoning blend here. Sorry for the confusion!
